Lucio leaves InterThe former Seleccao star's deal was not due to expire until 2014 but he has agreed an early release with the Nerazzurri, who are looking to revamp their squad this summer
Inter have announced that Lucio's contract with the club has been terminated by mutual consent.The former Brazil international still had two years to run on his existing deal with the Nerazzurri but the veteran centre-half has been deemed surplus to requirements at San Siro and his departure was considered little more than a formality.
"F.C. Internazionale announces that the documents relating to the mutually agreed termination of Lucio's contract have been filed in the offices of Lega Serie A," a statement on the club's official website read.
"The Brazilian defender, who was bound to the club until June 30, 2014, played 136 official games in the Inter shirt, scoring five goals and winning a Scudetto, two Coppa Italia, a Supercoppa, one UEFA Champions League and a Club World Cup.
"To Lucio and his family, the most affectionate farewell from all at F.C Internazionale."
The 34-year-old centre-half, who was capped 105 times by his country, joined the Nerazzurri from Bayern Munich in 2009 and played a key role in the following season's treble triumph.
